I just bought some Cibie H4 lenses from Daniel Stern Lighting and was wondering if I made a mistake in ordering them generically and not speicifally for a 951? How will they bolt to my current headlight frame? Also, there is not a reflector inside the lens that the bulb's beam hits as it is on the stock lens. Is this correct?

I am thinking I made a mistake here...

They'll bolt right in just like every other H4 lens does... why would a 951 be any different?

And why would a Cibie H4 not have a reflector?

Your questions are odd because you've bought the best lamp you can put on a 951 but you don't seem to know why you bought them.

Im not sure i get what you mean about there not being a reflector in the lense. The H4 bulbs have it sort of built in around the filament. They are direct bolt on, just make sure you bought the correct ones with the LHD pattern.

Does anyone have a picture of the retaining frame for a headlight lens? The frames on my 951 appear different than the image in PET.

are you sure you don't already have H-4 lens'?
the retaining frame is painted silver, and its held on by 3 short sheet metal screws. You have to remove the black cover in order to access it. Look in your owners manual, it tells you how to change the headlights.

Is your car a euro car? Mine is and doesn't have the US DOT mounting buckets for the headlights like my '85 NA had. Instead of bolting your lens into a frame, mine has four metal tabs integrated into the back of the Hella lens for the adjusting screws to bolt right onto.

No, it is not a euro car but I was suspicious that I had euro lenses and frames. No DOT and it is exactly as you describe yours to be. So now what? I am assuming I have to order to US frames?

This is what I'm doing as it's the only way I can get new lenses for right hand traffic. I can't find any lenses around here that use the same mounting. PartsHeaven quoted me $25 each for complete headlight assemblies.

I don't know what you bought but it should look kinda like this. Maybe some pictures will clear this up. Pretty simple really. (note: this is not cibie)... Bruce
